What I'm not yet clear is:
1. With indexing on, what happens when you delete an existing book? Does the associated index file also get removed? If not, we need to remove it manually. How do we find the index file? The index file names all start with y and are a meaningless jumble of around 32 characters.
2. In the /mnt/us/system folder there is another folder called "kf8". This too seems to contain index files - presumably of only azw3/kf8 format books. If so, Do kf8/azw3 format books also have an index file in the other folder?
You can watch the indexing in action from kterm:
cd /mnt/us/system/Search Indexes
Then either: watch ls -lst
Or: watch du -k
Overall I've found indexing to be useful. Only, I keep buying some "complete works" which are 20-30MB in size. Indexing for these takes a long time and the associated index files are huge!
